VIESCA Suites & Villas Il Borro Toscana

VIESCA Suites & Villas Il Borro Toscana

Nine rooms sit within Viesca, a Renaissance-era estate in the hills above Reggello that Salvatore and Wanda Ferragamo bought in the 1950s and turned into a family retreat before it became part of Il Borro's Tuscan holdings. Its farm classification undersells what's actually on site: a spa, a fitness room, a seasonal outdoor pool that runs May through October, a conference hall for the rare traveller mixing business with countryside, and a kitchen covering breakfast, snacks and dinner. Reggello's center sits six kilometres away, so this isn't a walk-everywhere base. It suits a woman driving in from Florence for a few unhurried nights among vineyards, olive groves and hiking trails, not one wanting a full city itinerary without a rental car. Cleaning is billed separately at the hotel and cash payments are capped at EUR 2,999.99, both worth knowing ahead of a 3pm arrival. What separates Viesca from other countryside stays nearby is its connection to Il Borro's organic winery, which studied the terroir in 1995 and now produces twelve labels, ten of them organic. Pets are welcome, parking is free, and airport transfers can be arranged, so travelling with a dog or without your own car isn't a complication. Rooms carry private bathrooms, safes and proper toiletries rather than an afterthought fit-out. The property runs on 24-hour reception, a lift, and concierge staff who handle the details guests would rather not chase themselves. Anyone chasing city bustle should look elsewhere. Anyone wanting Tuscan quiet with a working spa and a serious wine list attached will find both here. Nine rooms inside a Renaissance-era Tuscan estate the Ferragamo family once called home, with an organic Il Borro winery attached and a pool that runs May to October. Six kilometres from Reggello, it suits slow countryside nights with a car nearby, not a car-free city break.
